Like the old song says"pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again." I feel so sorry for you. Only positive I can think of is you will have more room to save new patterns, but that's small consolation. so sorry.I hope you will locate the mising.

I am using IE and would like to save all my Favoites. How do I go about that? I am also saving all my quilting downloads, but boy are there a lot of them. lol
Thanks, Charlie

Hello MPeters. Looks like you had a really horrible time of it. You are loved by all of us down here and we share your pain. Cry, it makes you feel better. Helen

JINGLEJANGLEWINGLEPOX!!!! And. OH SPIT!!!! Work for me. Seriously, spit happens (misspelling intentional) and so so sorry it did. Thanks for making me aware of this. You've probably helped me and many others avoid the same grief. I wanted to jump a bridge when my headlight broke, I repaired it after a cop ( police representative) pulled me over, and 3 months later the same light wasn't working and they wanted to charge me again to fix it. Made me wait 3 hours but fixed it free when I was going to leave unhappy. And when I looked at my washer and said its doing so well for its age and it broke the next day. What can go wrong will go wrong. I just say the above mentioned mantra and congratulate myself for my strength to get through it. You be strong! I also use to put on the record ( see how long ago it was, I said record) "I Will Survive" and let it play on repeat. Got through a divorce on that one. We are strong, we are invincible, we are woman ...from another song I like. Hope I rallied your strength and there are no bridges nearby:). :)

Yes, my XP had to be reinstalled.

First I want to say thank you for all the responses. I honestly didn't know there was a way to save one's bookmarks. I have approximately 15 years of genealogy websites, 8 years of quilting websites, and just a few months of sewing websites bookmarked. I still think it was around 250 or so.

I learned a long time ago, almost the hard way, to save everything to discs or cds. I love those little 8G usb drive things. That's what I have all of my patterns and pictures saved to. I know it could have been much, much worse, but the loss of the bookmarks has been a HUGE bummer. I'll be going back through many of them now.

While I'm certainly not happy this happened, the silver lining is all the great directions for saving my new bookmarks!

I was hoping for some comfort when I posted this, which I got so much. I never dreamed there was actually a way to do it! Thank you all so much!

Now if I could just figure out why the firefox doesn't work as well now as it did before. There are so many sites where I have to use IE and I don't really like it. But, I know whatever I set up in IE I can move to firefox as well.

Thank you all so very much again!

Charlie, look for help online on saving Favorites. i did it years ago but never put them back. but if i can save them to a disc, so can you. i found how online somewhere.

I keep an external hard drive with everything on it so that when my husband decides he needs to reformat the hard drive, I make sure and make a copy of my internet favorites and all my pictures and PDF files.

recently purchased an external back up drive. Makes me feel more secure about my files. Was not expensive, I think it was $49. A small price to pay for the trouble we go through to try and recoup files.

What size/brand external hard drive works for you? I've seen them ,but have no clue.
